Chapter 2

JAMES POV
After the carriage ride we went into the great hall and watched the sorting ceremony, there was lots of cheering throughout all the tables as the names were called out and different houses were picked. Then Dumbledore made his speech. I didn't really pay attention to it until he called out Lily's name. I was slightly confused for a second then I realised that it was about the head boy and girl this year. Then he called out my name and explained that I was head boy. He talked a little bit about how anyone can go to us if they need to then he said that we would go to McGonagall (our head of house) about the head common room. WAIT, HEAD COMMON ROOM I didn't even realise that they existed. After me and lily went to McGonagall we were given directions to the head common room and we walked together in silence.

"this is stupid" I say
"what" she replies
"the fact that we can't even be friends and we have to work together all year"
"I guess, but its not my fault you are so arrogant"
"well it's not my fault your so perfect"
"I'm not perfect"
"well I'm not arrogant" I felt a little bit mean by saying that so coIdly but I'm trying and she just keeps trying to get rid of me "look I'm trying to be nice okay. I'm trying to take this seriously and you just keep throwing it in my face"
"Well, it's a bit late to start trying now after tormenting my best friend for years and trying to embarrass me every day. Look Potter, we will get along but I'm not going to agree to being your friend you have been too horrid for me to just forget about it in a day. Try earning it"
I didn't even respond at this point I knew that it wouldn't change her mind. She was just as stubborn as I was. I would just have to prove that I've changed

by that point we are at the door to our new common room so we say the password (which is moonstone) and we walk inside, I hear a gasp next to me as we
enter. It was like the Gryffindor common room. The ceilings were rounded at the top- as we were at the top of a turret- and the huge  windows that sat on the walls seemed to never end. At one side there was a seat which's at against 2 of the windows giving a beautiful view of the quidditch pitch and the red carpet was so soft and sat by the fire, next to the fire was a little cupboard filled with wood and around it were 2 single sofas and a double. Which filled the center of the room. There was also a couple side tables near the sofas and to The left of the room there was a majestic wooden rectangular table. There were doors which were scattered against the wall. They were each labelled and I couldn't help but stare in or as each room was amazing. Through one of the doors there was a huge study for with books and 2 desks which sat by windows overlooking the black lake. Then there was the bathroom and the bath looked as though it should be a pool, and there were 2 left which were neatly labelled above the door with HB and HG which were obviously bedrooms.

After exploring I lay onto the bigger sofa. Lily was still looking round. I heard a little squeal and I automatically smiled as it had come form the study. I could imagine her excitement when she discovered the endless supply of books.

About five minutes later Evans come down from her room holding a book The History of magic, she sits down on one of the sofas next to me and then lights the fire. She reads for about 10 minutes will I just staring longingly she is so pretty and I can't help but stare she is enjoying the book so much she hasn't even realised I'm staring and when she looks up and sees me she just smiles, puts a bookmark into her book, before getting up and saying "I'm going to bed now". I just nod in response as I watch her ascend up the stairs towards her room. I shortly follow her up stairs to my room before pulling the sheets of my king-size bed and falling asleep dreaming about the usual- lily
